	Carbohydrates are one of the three [[macronutrients]] that make up a [[healthy diet]], along with protein and fat. Complex carbohydrates are a type of carbohydrate that are made up of long chains of [[sugar molecules]], which take longer to digest and provide a slower release of energy. In this article, we will discuss what complex carbohydrates are, their benefits, and sources of complex carbohydrates.		#REDIRECT [[Carbohydrates]]

	~~==What are Complex Carbohydrates?==~~
	*Complex carbohydrates are made up of long chains of sugar molecules, which are also known as [[polysaccharides]]. These chains are made up of several simple sugar molecules, also known as [[monosaccharides]], that are linked together through chemical bonds. Some examples of complex carbohydrates include whole [[grains, legumes, and vegetables]].
	*Unlike simple carbohydrates, which are quickly digested and provide a rapid source of energy, complex carbohydrates take longer to break down and provide a slower, sustained release of energy. This makes complex carbohydrates a good source of energy for long-term physical activity, such as [[endurance sports]].

	~~==Benefits of Complex Carbohydrates==~~
	*Complex carbohydrates offer several health benefits, including:
	*[[Improved Digestion]]: Complex carbohydrates are high in dietary [[fiber]], which helps to promote [[healthy digestion]] and prevent [[constipation]].
	*[[Reduced Risk of Chronic Diseases]]: Complex carbohydrates are high in [[vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants]], which can help to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
	*[[Sustained Energy]]: Complex carbohydrates provide a steady source of energy, which can help to prevent energy crashes and keep you feeling full and satisfied for longer.
	*[[Weight Management]]: Complex carbohydrates are typically lower in calories and higher in fiber than simple carbohydrates, which can help to promote [[weight loss]] and weight management.

	~~==Sources of Complex Carbohydrates==~~
	*Some good sources of complex carbohydrates include:
	*[[Whole Grains]]: Whole [[grain bread, pasta, brown rice, quinoa, and oatmeal]] are all good sources of complex carbohydrates.
	*[[Legumes]]: [[Beans, lentils, and peas]] are all high in complex carbohydrates and are also a good source of [[protein]].
	*[[Vegetables]]: Vegetables such as [[sweet potatoes, carrots, and broccoli]] are high in complex carbohydrates and also provide a range of vitamins and minerals.
	*[[Fruits]]: Fruits such as [[~~apples, bananas, and oranges]] are a good source of complex carbohydrates and also provide important nutrients such as vitamin C.~~
